CANADA STOCKS-Futures higher as oil prices rise

March 4 (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a higher
opening for Canada's main stock index on Friday as oil prices
extended gains ahead of the monthly U.S. jobs data.

A Reuters poll of economists forecasts U.S. economy to have
added 190,000 jobs last month, with the overall unemployment
level staying at an eight-year low of 4.9 percent.

March futures on the S&P TSX index were up 0.33
percent at 7:30 a.m. ET.

Trade balance and labor productivity data are due at 8:30
a.m. ET and Ivey PMI at 10:00 a.m. ET.

Canada's main stock index hit a 2016 high on Thursday as
energy stocks rose despite a petered out oil rally, and other
resources stocks gained as commodity prices more generally
reflected increased confidence in prospects for global growth.
